LD50 is around 30mg/kg which is an absolute monster amount. Dosages of over 5000x the dose to get "high" have been tested. At those levels, you'd be dealing with other intense effects before you'd drop dead. Iversen

Kimi 2.6 or 2.8 is what we are playing with locally. They need 512GB to 1TB to run with full capabilities so that's not exactly "desktop" Our GPU computer server cost $110k.

The hotness we are seeing is smaller 'expert' models with an 'orchestrator' model in front that evaulates the prompts and routes to the appropiate small models and then synthesizes the collected answer. Easier to split a

We only have one modern example of demographic crash to study... Japan. Total economic stagnation, spiraling population numbers, loss of anything anchored to manual labor, and an aging population. So far, it looks to be a way for slow extin

Loratadine plus famotidine worked for years for me (I have mastocytosis). Switching to a keto diet helped way more, though. I still get flushes, rashes, etc., but the severity has gone down to the point they are random annoyances that go aw

Kimi 2.6 probably. Needs over 300GB of GPU memory to run (1TB for for full capabilities) so either a 4x A100 or 8x A6000 would do it. A $50k - 100k rig could do it and an entire company would be able to use it a full speed.
